Two q uest i ons h ad been asked of bin, by his Right Hon. Friend opposite, and hi should answei those questions by in the first place deending the proposed alteration, whie!i would put l':,,e administration of the affairs of the Post Office in the hands of a Board of Com missioners, and next by stating the rea,ens why lie thought cne member of that board tdrould be a Member of the House of Commons. With tbspect to that branch of the subject which related tt) the 'administratitWk bf the affairs of the Post Office, fill he need sa,y ~ .'em that the Go vernment had high autoority for the eotirse they had taken. The way in which the Post (Mien had been managed had long been the subjee, of complaint by all, whether Whig or Tory, who had ~', 7 . t -c. n the matter the least consideration ; and it wys wirreci on all hands, he believed, that the pre sent stat - of that establishment was indefensible, and that it w on a betterawet.the duty of Parliament and th e G overnment to place footing.. This, if he was not gri 'l.°l(eu, had b een the opinion of the last five Postmas eatly temrss "General ; and although the business might perhaps he per formed by subordinate persons, still it should not be for gotten that they were wholly irresponsible. The object of this Bill was, in short, to place the Post Office on a 1 :oo ing similar to the other Revenue Boards ; awl, having stated this, he should show why a differen-5.,0 should be made between them, by connecting our of the Oommis sioners of the Post Offic e Board wit' that tibuse. The connection of the Post Office Ivit'n Paetiament, however, was by no means new. On Clic Contrary, it had always existed ; but then the c - ,,m4veti on was with the Lords, and not with the 11 - .,use or Commons. That was the Place th e Post ace wh ere the re , spon s ibilit y o f t h ose who had charge that wa s t h e .eice was m os t narrow l y watched, and Planations from time prope r p l ace , t h erefore, for giving ea t:lr defe n di ng t h e measures which might to time be adopted in reference to the ma laasgemerat of thi s d epartment of the public service. The 'etr,nee bet ween t h e Post Office and th e R evenue B oards ar°- c from the fact, that the Post Office was necessarily giir'n e eeted w i t h the Administration, and that the moneys T r 'rived from th at department were not paid into the l)" " s tir)? as the sums co ll ected by the ordinary Reve- Boards were.

Mr. LA BOUC HERE supported the motion. , Mr. GOUL BURN said it might not be fashionable to '.e'vert to the old practice of the Constitution ; yet he would do so, and say that the spirit of the Constitution excluded Hall Officers who had the management of money from that iouse. If this precedent be established, they would have ioutshee. chief officers of the revenue departments in that After some further observations, the Hon Gen tleman concluded by entering his protest against the intro '.cri!tetion of a Commissioner of the Post Office into the Mea is ' l ouse of C ommons, as an infringement on the first ele of the Constitution. Any proposition for making S uch an innovation, should have been founded on former the and p r eeFAetits. But it was not so.

A., in command of the Euphrates expedition, dated Euphrates steamer Anna, 28th May, 1836, of which the following, with its enclosure, are copies:— - Euphrates Steamer, Anna, May 28, 1836. is with feelings of the deepest regret, that I do myself the honour of informing you that the Tigris steamer was totally lost during a hurricane of indescribable violence, which, after the short struggle of about eight minutes, sent a fine vessel to the bottom in about five* fathoms water, and deprived his Majesty of fifteen va luable men, with five natives in addition. Illy reports up to the 1 - ith instant, at Deir, will have informed you that all was going on as successfully as the most sanguine could possibly desire. We found the Arabs well disposed, and quite ready to form depots for us of wood, charcoal, bitumen, and lignite coal, all met in abundance, and tried with complete success. In addition to these marked advantages the survey had been car r i e d 509 m i les down the Great River, which seemed in all respects favourable ; in short all was continued prosperity up to the afternoon of the 21st inst., when it pleased God to send the calamitous event of which it is now my duty to give a feeble sketch. A little after one, P. M., on that melancholy day, the flat boats, being a little a-head, and the Tigris leading the Euphrates, a storm appeared, bringing with it, high in the air, clouds of sand from the west north west quarter. At this moment we were passing over the rocks of Is Geria (deeply covered) and immediately after we made a signal for the Euphrates to choose a berth, and make fast ; which was done more as a matter of precaution, on account of the difficulty of seeinr , our way through • the sand, than from apprehension that the squall would be so terrific. The Tigris was immediately directed towards the bank, against which she struck without injury, but with so much violence as to recoil a distance of about eight vrds, leaving two men on the bank who had jumped out to make fast. The wind then suddenly veered round, drove her bow off, and thus rendered it quite impos sible to secure the vessel to the bank, along which she was blown rapidly by the heavy gusts, her head falling off into the stream as she passed close by the Euphrates, which vessel had been backed op portunely to avoid the concussion. The engines were working at full power, and every endeavour made to turn the vessel's bow to the bank. One anchor waslet go, but the heel of the vessel made it impossible to get the other out, and she was then nearly broad side to the wind, with the engines almost powerless, and the waves, ris ing to four or five feet, forcing their way in at the windows. Lieut. Cockburn, the Messrs. Staunton, and some of the menmade ineffectual attempts to keep out the water, for the fate of the vessel was already decided ; and the fore part of the deck being under wa ter, Lieut. Lynch came toreport that the Tigriswas sinking, andthe word was immediately passed for all to save themselves. At this very instant a momentary gleam of light faintly showed the bank at the apparent distance of eight or ten yards ; and as there seemed every probability that the stern would touch it before she went down, Lieutenant Lynch encouraged the people to remain steady until they reached the land. All were on deck at this critical moment, some clinging to the ropes of the awning, the paddle * The last depth sounded, and we have since found three and an half fathoms on one side of the spot, and five on the other.

IRON STEAM BOATS.—The Cleveland steamer, built by Messrs. Page and Grantham, has been for some time at work on the Woodside Ferry, Liverpool, and seems fully to answer the most sanguine expectations of the advocates of this mode of constructing steam-boats. FRAUDULENT FIRM. --Some dismay, on the part of certain individuals, has been caused in Selby, by the sudden disappearance of a dashing firm, " Richard Pullen and Brothers, flax and hemp merc h ants. " On Saturday week, a large bill, which had been accepted for this firm by a respect able timber -merchant of Selby, was returned to the acceptor dishonoured ; and on his inquiry at the place of business, he was alarmed t o fi n d t h at the Messrs. Pullen had wholly vanished. The gentleman in question, who is connected with the Pullens by the marriage of his brother, has accepted bills to the extent of several thousand pounds for these persons, and has even, in some instances, put his name to blank bills. It is said that persons at Leeds and Hunslet have been simi larly taken in, and that the Hull Banking Company, and a firm of flax spinners at Darlington, are heavy losers. The opinion is that the runaway merchants have gone to America or the Continent ; and it is conjectured that they have dis posed, at a discount for cash or small bills, of property to th e value of 30,0001., which they had purchased with bills not yet due.—Lincoln Gazette. Loss OF THE CALEDONIA.—Sunday Week the Caledonia, Mills, of Aberdeen, thence to Sunderland, when about 14 miles from Berwick, filled with water, which had covered the ballast before the crew were aware. Pumping was out of the question. The crew, eight in number, took out a boat about twelve feet long, into which they entered in such haste, that four of them had not time to put their jackets on. They secured two oars, a bucket, a small cask, an d one bi scuit —all the provision they saved—and no clothing except that in which they stood. They saw their ship go down in about a quarter of an hour after they left her. They filled the bucket and swung it out of the boat's stem by the painter, to act as an anchor, and prevent them drifting out to sea faster than they could avoid. They remained in the boat about twelve hours, and drifted 35 miles, when on Monday morning, they descried a ship, and one of them stood up with a red handkerchief as a signal of distress, which was discovered by the person on watch on board the ship, which proved to be the Quebec, of Glasgow; but they were not seen until the ship had passed the boat. It was blowing a stiff breeze from the W. N. W., and the crew of the Quebec, which saw them, had, by the captain's orders, just taken in a third reef. On perceiving the boat they immediately took in sail, tacked about, and, after two hours' endeavour, succeeded in recovering the men, but not the boat, which the roughness of the sea would not permit them to do. The poor fellows were very much ex hausted, and had not power to make much effort to reach the ship.—Hull Paper. ATTEMPT AT MURDER FROM JEALOUSY.-- Ann Librouse, aged 35, was placed at the bar of a French Provincial Court, charged with an attempt to murder a young man, named Villate, under the following circumstances : The prisoner, who resided in the arondissement of Perrigueux, had for some years past been carrying on an illicit intercourse with Villate, a young farmer, and she had a child by him, which was now five years old. It appeared that the conduct of the prisoner had latterly given rise to some suspicions in the mind of Villate, concerning the fidelity of his mistress, whose charms were of no ordinary character; a quarrel took place between them, which ended in Villate leaving her and marry ing another. The prisoner no sooner saw herself forsaken than she began to contemplate revenge, and did not take much trouble to conceal her intentions. On the day following Vil late's marriage, she went out with a loaded pistol for the pur pose of avenging herself upon her faithless lover, and seeing him walking in the street, went deliberately up behind him, presented the pistol between his shoulders, and pulled the rigger. Fortunately, however, for her intended victim, it missed fire, and she was immediately taken into custody with the loaded pistol in her hand. The prisoner, when questioned by the Jury, avowed the crime of which she stood charged, and showed no remorse whatever. She continued to dwell upon her unrequitted love and the abandonment of her poor little child by the author of its being. In reply to -a question by the President, she said she did not intend to kill him ; her object was only to wound him, that his sufferings might be as great as her own. When the prosecutor came forward to make his deposition, be did not appear to dare to look the pri soner in the face ; but she placed herself in such a position that he could not avoid her, and vented her rage in the most bitter terms of reproach against him. He took no notice of her interposition, but when he had finished his evidence sat down with the most perfect self-possession. The President then ad dressed the Jury, and they found the prisoner guilty of the at tempt to murder, but without premeditation. She was sentenced to five years' imprisonment —the minimum punish ment of the law. MRS.

Having already given a faithful account of the short, but eventful period of about twelve minutes occupied by the beginning, the pro gress, and t erm i nat i on o f t h e hurricane,l will conclude the painful part of my task, by referring you to the inclosed return of the names of the valuable men who have been lost to his Majesty and their coun try for ever. Very different was the result when a similar, but less violent gale, sent my little vessel to the bottom of this river in 1831; for I had not then the misery of deploring the loss of a single life, and my little schooner was afloat and continuing the descent in less than twelve hours ; whereas, all our efforts, as yet, have failed even to find the remains of the vessel, not a ripple, or the slightest trace of the unfortunate Tigris, marks the spot where she went down ; but our search has not yet terminated, and if she should be found without having been dashed to pieces, I shall take measures to recover her with the assistance of the diving bell, and other means ; especially as there are many valuable in struments on board, in addition to the hull and machinery, and particularly as the Arabs here are well disposed. I am happy to say, that the survivors of the expedition remain as much unshaken as ever in their confidence regarding the final success of this undertaking, as well as the manifest advantages, facilities, and cheapness of this line of communication. The hur ricane has been, it is true, a most trying and calamitous event; but I believe it is regarded by all, even at this early day, as having no more to do with the navigation of the Euphrates in other respects, than the loss of a packet in the Irish Channel, which might retard, but could not put an end to, the intercourse between England and Ireland. We are, therefore, continuing our descent and survey to Bussora, hoping not only to bring up the mail from India within the specified time, but also, if it pleases God to spare us, to demonstrate the speed, economy, and commercial advantages of the river Euphrates, pro. vided the decision of Ministers shall be in the true spirit of Eng lishmen, to give it a fair trial, rather than abandon the original pur pose in consequence of an unforeseen, and, as it proved, an una voidable calamity.

AN INC/DENT.—The following is from a late number of the Char/es/on Courier t--" Numerous charac teristic incidents are told as having occurred to the Volunteers during their sojourn among the swamps and hommocs in Florida. It is related that dun Odd occasion, when the Mouth Carolina Regiment wtts orcle . fed to ridtanee km the encamp ment at Spring Gardens, our yotin totimStnthi ; Ashby, wily commanded a company of back woodsartien. Was ordered to scour a certain hommoc, and take post at a ;fifth point therein. Having executed the order, the Colonel appeetessi in sight, at the head of other companies, riding from point to point with his usual impetuosity. The young officer, either forgetting the order, or perhaps impati en t t o b e e n gaged, called ou t , " Colonel, here we are; where shall we go now ?" "Go to the Devil 1" roared out the Colonel. " Attention men !" cried Ashby, " you have heard the order. Forward I this must be the wog." Mr. Forrester, whose absconding front London with property to a considerable amount has bean frequently no. ticed, was overtaken at Brest on the 22d inst. On !eat*. London he came to Havre, under the assumed name of Rey nolds. He was unacquainted with the French leuguage, but after wandering about Normandy and Brittany for scad 'hare, undecided as to what course he should take, made his way to Brest. Here he was traced, and at length overtaken by two or three persons accompanied by a London police officer with a warrant. With the assistance of M. Cathelain, a commis sary of police at Brest, they laid hands on Mr. Forrester, two hours after his arrival at the Grand Monarque Hotel. He strenuously denied that he was the person they were in pursuit of, and showed a passport he had obtained at Rennes in the name of Charles Reynolds. The English Vice-Consul was applied to, but declined interfering officially, as he had no power in such cases. He, however, interrogated Mr. Forres ter very closely, but obtained nothing from him but denials of his identity. Overcome at length by the perseverance of the parties and the threats they held out of forcing him back to England, whence he could not fail of being transported to Botany Bay, he at length gave way, and promised to deliver up all that remained of the sum he brought away, and which was 110,000 francs, if he was left at liberty. This was not only assented to, but the parties allowed him to retain 100/. to take with him to America, where he might have the chance of once mere becoming an honest man. They also left him every thing he had purchased with the ill gotten money, in cluding a complete set of fishing tackle, which is said to be very costly. An incident, at once painful and ludicrous, occurred at the Palais de Justice. An unhappy maniac, about forty years of age, well dressed, and having an air of respectability, went from one of the door-keepers to another, ordering them to set Prince Polignac at liberty, and informing them, in a nhisper, that Leopold and his family were to be hanged on the following day. At one of the door-keeper's lodges he placed his hat on a chair, and rushing into the Salle de Pas Perdus, seized a counsellor, twisted his cravat round his neck, and de clared that " the hydra of tyranny must be strangled." Some of the persons who witnessed this scene seized the poor fellow, and conducted him before a commissary of police, who recog nised in him the Belgian who some time ago disturbed the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies during a discussion upon a petition for the liberation of the ex-Ministers, by at tempting to read from the gallery an address in their favour.— Galignani. It appears that M. Carrel had a strong presentiment of his fate. He was deeply impressed with a dream he had on Tuesday night, which had such an effect upon him that, although he never before thought of making his will, even when he was going to fight a duel, he passed the greater part of Thursday night in making his will, and settling his affairs, which he did with astonishing presence of mind and accuracy. His body is only temporarily deposited in the burying-ground of St. Mande. The town of Rouen, where be was born, has desired to have it removed there ; where also a monument will be erected to his memory. A bust of the deceased, by M. David, of the Institute, who executed those of Chateaubriand and De Lamartine, is to be made for the town of Rouen. M. Eugene Brissault has announced that he has ceased to have any connection with the Journal La Presse, of which M. Emile de Girardin, is the responsible editor. In the commune of Carentoir, in the Morbilian, a mad wolf, that came out of the forest of La Bourdonnaye, entered a farm, lately, and mutilated the whole of the family. This horrible accident caused a kind of insurrection amongst the peasants. M. de La Bourdonnaye having opposed the feeding of their cattle in the forest, the peasants imagined that he had brought some wolves from Paris to guard his property, and that five of them were mad. Upon this they set fire to the forest; but the damage was fortunately confined to about 40 acres. NEW PARLIAMENT HOUSES.--" I have held architecture in suspicion," said Col. Thompson, " ever since I saw the pyramids. It is always a proof, that there were one sst of men who planned and amused themselves, and another set who paid. Examine any country or any age, and in pro portion to the servility or corruption of the people will be the splendour of the public buildings. Sometimes the presiding power has been religious, sometimes political ; but it is always manifest there h as b een a caste, which has had the faculty of taking the people's money, and giving them a stone. Ro mantic gentlemen are enraptured with ancient recollections. It might have been thought that these would have in some sort balanced. I wonder how many Acts of Parliament will be mended by these acme recollections." JERSEY HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION.—ThiS exhibition on Wednesday last, notwithstanding the very unfa vourable state of the weather, attracted a numerous company, including nearly all the fashion and beauty of Jersey. The different articles were arranged, with considerable taste and judgment, by Mr. Hodges and assistants, and the whole pre sented a most agreeable and gratifying sight. The specimens of fruit, flowers, and vegetables, though neither the finest nor cdi t yet upon the a uy y t h i the most nu merous we have seen in the Old Cattle Market, were re i i g a h t o a r s n . d v T a r h i e e d r e o w r d e r e e r , m a a n n d y reflected d e m s e u r e v l: ing of especial notice. —Jersey Argus.

FEMALE BEAUTY.—The long-pending wager has been at length decided, and Ross has had the honour allaying conferred on it the triumphal wreath of the goddess of beauty. A gentleman of fortune and accomplishments, from the neigh bourhood of Newry, deputed as one of the judges, no sooner beheld our R oss f a i r one than he became smitten, and the con sequence is, that she has consented to be led by him to the Hymeneal altar, in a few days. But the best of the affair is, that the lady in question was quite unconscious that she was the object of such general admiration, until her hand and heart were claimed by the above gallant gentleman.— TVex ford Conservative.

Thus the petition is only signed by 362 electors, or • one-fourth of the constituency. Very artfully a few only of the GronOw voters have been allowed to iiing the petition. But if the petitioners were pure (comparatively) at the last con test, the evidence singularly exposes their corruption and corruptibility in 1831 and 1832 ; for on collating their names and descriptions with the evidence, more than two-thirds of the petitioners (electors) viz. about 250, are proved to have been bribed ! The result of the investigation is, that of 850 old burgesses, the fol lowing numbers were bribed at the respective elections inquired into by their Lordsli:ps 1831—Bribed electors ! 1831...

The Lord Chancellor, h o wever, with some discrimina tion, distinguished the class of householders, of whom 10 only are proved to have baen bribed in 1831, 87 in 1832, and six in 1835. As, therefore, there is a ten pound constituency of nearly six hundred elec;ors dis tinct from the old profligate burgesses, Lord Clanri carde has now limited his second Bill to the extinction of the latter. We shall see whether Lord Ashburtaa res pect" extends to these incorrigible corruPtionists. In the meanwhile, the Commons will suspend the writ, and cannot have a better ground of contention with the Lords than on the subject of the purity and fur ther reform of the representation.

A Bill of Disfranchisernewt then passed the Commons, but the proceedings in the Lords on the Warwick and Liverpool Election Bills occupica their Lordships the entire Session, and Stafford remained in statu quo. A Witnesses' Indemnity Bill, however, pas,;ed both Houses, the Lords, on the preamble, examining, in a Select Committee, witnesses who amply proved the " loth-continued and general bribery and corruption" prevalent in Stafford. The intervening dissolution of Parliament, by the summary dismissal of the Mel bourne Cabinet, gave the corrupt burgesses a new op portunity of returning reresentatives, and Stafford, not without truth, is said to enjoy " the nine lives of a cat." Last year the 1117! a Disfranchise ment was again revived in the Commons, but the ro tracted examinations on the English Corp or ation Bill 0 sezin saved the borough another twelvemonth. Thi s ; session the Bill passed the Commons unopposed. The Lords, on its arrival at their bar some weeks since, di rected the usual course of evidence in support of the preamble, notwiihstanding the existence of their own 1833 Report, and their approval of an Indemnity Witnesses Bill on which the Commons' inquiry was founded. We will now briefly state the astounding facts disclosed at their Lordships' bar, which we ab stract from the printed evidence, occupying 528 folio pages. The Lords inquiry, in proof of the preamble, comprises the election proceedings on four contested elections, viz.:— . A. D. Candidates. Poll. Money expenthd• 1826 Beaumont Spooner 1831...,,.

At the three first, viz., in 1826, 1831, and . 1832, the entire constituency, with few exceptions, ac cepted bribes. At the last election (1835) only 190 are distinctly attached with bribery, and those electors solely in the interest of one candidate, Captafil Gro now. But all the candidates (Sir C. Wolseley ex cepted) openly practised the most unlimited treating between the issue of the writ and the return, all the witnesses admitting that money expended in treating, if not in bribery, was essential to success. At one intervening contest, viz., 1830, no direct bribery was resorted to, but the most extensive treating practised by all candidates, as follows : A. D. Candidates. Poll. Money expended. 1830 Gisborne 666 £2,286 5 3 Campbell 608 2,532 19 6 Hawkes 305 1,000 0 0 1830 In gross ... 5,819 4 9 31,164 11 10 826 1831 1832 1835 Total £36,983 16 7 The average sum in gross expended at five contests in Stafford, in a period of -ten years, is 7,396/. ; and calculated annually, is nearly 4,0001. per annum. The evidence shows that the entire constituency, with tare exceptions, was bribed in 1826 ; again in 1831 ; and also in 1832 ; and one-fifth directly brii;%l in 1835. Of the last-.election, however, it must be noted, that the Disfranchisement Bill was hanging in terra rent over the heads of the electors when the preceding Parliament was dissolved. The petition on which Counsel defended the Borough at the Lords' bar, and opposed the. rile, it , the most singular document. It prays for inquiry, that they, the petitioners, may jus tify themselves from the foul "chargeoffiagrant and general corruption."

Nearly the whole bench of bishops voted against the lost Bill ; we shall now see how many of the " Right Reverend Fathers in GOD" will next week, by their support of the second measure, discourage drunkenness, perjury, and other election immoralities. We will briefly state the facts of the ease against this infamous borough, as notorious as were Sodom and Gomorrah of old. In 1832, the first contest after the Reform Acts, the entire consti tuency, except about 10 per cent., was openly bribed. A gelect Committee of the -Commons instituted a so lemn inquiry, when the Committ ee , f orme d o f a ll parties, Sir Thomas Fremantl e Ch a i rman , zzani inously reported d mass of indisputable proofs with the following resolutions : " First—That it appears td Ibe Committee, that the evidence taken before them establishes a case of such open, general, and systematic bribery and corruption, that it is expedient that the borough of Stafford should cease to re turn Members to Parliament.

The summons was ordeilqd to stand over till next Eiday. Few Unions have been conducted with greater ad vantages resulting, and none with greai,?r unanimity and satis faction, than the Weymouth. The number of paupers has been on the 7radual deereas-!, and the ex pen s e s , f rom th e s rm em adopte r d, have been reduced, •in some of the parishes within the Union, at least 20 per cent. during the quarter just past, as compared with the corresponding quarter the pre ceding year, although the outlays have been large and exten sive, arising from peculiar circumstances connected with the internal regulations practised in the poor-house.—Sherborne Paper. 11le Swabian Mercury g ives the following extract; of a lett er o f t h e 15th instant, from Vienna :—" It is asserted that . Lord P onson b y w ill b e reca ll e d from Constant i nop l e, an d replaced by Sir Frederick Lamb, the present Britis;: Ambas sador at Vienna. It is added that this recal of his Lordship was one of the conditions on which the Sultan consent:A to dismiss the late Reis Effendi, which concession he grantee; to L:itgland upon the representations of the Austrian Ambassador. Baron de Sturmer. It is expected that the Cabinet of Saint will not oppose the revocation of the credentials of Lord I , ,nsonby, since after what has passed, he will not be likely to pio.,erve ,arid strengthen that good understanding with the Porte vi!ii.:. ;ll is Siimportant to the policy of Etigland." NEW POOR LAWS.--.--Tifti -knowing statement will show the LeneAgial working of Bill in the parish of St. Giles, Camberwell:—The expenditure in the year endi.lg April 1834 was 22,363/. 7s. 2d., rates 3s. 7d. in the pound in 1835, 19,648/. ss. 10d., rates 3s. .3d. in the pound ; its 1836, 17,8751. 17s. 10d., rates 2s. 10d. in the pound. The. year ending 1837 will not exceed 12,0001., as a rate of 10d. ho been made for the half year : thus, co:nparing the year 1834, the last year of the old system, and the present ending April 1837, will show a saving of the large sum of 10,363/. per annum. The results are most satisfactory, not only as regards the saving effected, but in, the great moral impe9ve ntent among the poor, and in converting the idle pauper into thu hard-working labourer. It .i.s' . a remarkable fact, that at the sitting of the Board on the Ist of June last, there was not one application for relief; and what is more remarkable, four letters were received from paupers thanking the Board for what they have received, and that, having employment, they had no further need for relief.
